Chapter 769: In the Tomb
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Yanyu looked around. “Miss Yuanyuan, this, this seems to be a tomb.”
Su Yanyu’s heart turned cold. Usually, ancient tombs with burial pits were not small, and there would not be an exit.
It was a place where one could only enter but not leave.
Su Yanyu stood up with difficulty. The stone wall was black and there was only one path. He did not know where it led. Su Yanyu wanted to cry. If not for the fact that Liu Yuanyuan was around, he would have cried.
Liu Yuanyuan looked around and said, “Rest for a while. From the looks of it, this tomb is very big. We won’t be able to get out for a while. Wait here. I’ll go find something to eat.”
It was not easy to bring Su Yanyu out of the pit. If it were anyone else, she would not have interfered at all, but it was Su Yanyu.
Su Yanyu nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Su Yanyu watched as Liu Yuanyuan turned into a snake and left. The surroundings fell silent again, and he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
Liu Yuanyuan returned very quickly. She found some dry pancakes and water bags in a cave.
Su Yanyu slowly nibbled on the pancake and drank some water. The hunger and pain in his stomach disappeared, and he regained some strength.
Liu Yuanyuan pressed the remaining worms on Su Yanyu’s wound. With the worms, Su Yanyu’s injury would be fine.
Liu Yuanyuan sat on the ground and said slowly, “It’s dark outside now. Sleep well. After you get up, we’ll find the exit.”
Su Yanyu nodded. He took out the incense and placed it in a jar. Liu Yuanyuan watched him attract the worms to refine without saying anything.
After doing all of this, Su Yanyu leaned against the ground and closed his eyes. The tomb was cold. Su Yanyu, who was in a daze, muttered subconsciously, “Cold, it’s so cold.”
Liu Yuanyuan frowned and stood up to sit beside Su Yanyu. She grabbed Su Yanyu’s hand and transferred spiritual qi to him.
The spiritual qi was comfortable, and Su Yanyu stopped muttering.
The first two nights, he did not rest at all. After waking up from a coma, he did not dare to rest at all. Now that Liu Yuanyuan was by his side, Su Yanyu seemed to be very at ease and slept soundly.
Liu Yuanyuan did not have to sleep. She sat quietly and cultivated with her eyes closed.
When Su Yanyu was about to wake up, she opened her eyes.
Su Yanyu was well-rested. When he woke up again, he was full of energy. Most of the injuries on his body had healed. The shallow wounds were no longer painful, and the deeper wounds were gradually healing.
Seeing that Su Yanyu could move, Liu Yuanyuan did not stay any longer. She said, “Let’s go and find the way out.”
Su Yanyu nodded. “Miss Yuanyuan, don’t worry. We’ll definitely be able to get out.”
If he really couldn’t get out, he would ask Liu Yuanyuan to abandon him and leave.
During the time he spent in the pit, he had already come to terms with his death.
If he died here, his parents would be informed and come over to collect his corpse and hold a proper funeral for him.
Liu Yuanyuan let Su Yanyu walk behind her. She lit a match and walked towards the only path.
The tomb was made entirely of stones.
The path was very clean. At the end of the path was a stone wall with many beautiful ancient murals carved on it.
Su Yanyu looked at the words and said, “This is an epitaph that records someone’s life.”
The two of them observed the mural. It was a woman. The woman was stunningly beautiful and lived an extremely rich life.
After the two of them finished looking at the murals, Su Yanyu couldn’t help but mutter, “This is only half of her life. Why was the latter half of her life not carved?”
Liu Yuanyuan looked at the stone door in front of her. There was a notch on the stone door. She reached out and pressed it. The stone door opened and a new path appeared in front of the two of them.
On the stone wall, there was a new mural.
Liu Yuanyuan said, “Let’s go.”
The latter half of the woman’s life was carved here.
The match was about to be extinguished. Just as Su Yanyu did not know what to do, Liu Yuanyuan blew out the match and said, “We have to keep this match and use it when we need it. This woman’s life has nothing to do with us.”
Liu Yuanyuan could see the way in the darkness, so it was not necessary to waste the match.
Su Yanyu felt inexplicably terrible, but he could not bring himself to make a request because he indeed didn’t have to be so interested in a woman’s life.
The discomfort in his heart was probably because the tomb was too stuffy.
The match was extinguished, and the tomb quickly darkened. Liu Yuanyuan grabbed Su Yanyu and said, “Grab my clothes. I can see. I’ll bring you out.”
Su Yanyu grabbed Liu Yuanyuan’s sleeve. “Alright, thank you, Miss Yuanyuan.”
Liu Yuanyuan looked ahead and decided not to waste time. She left with Su Yanyu, but Su Yanyu suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Su Yanyu looked at the stone wall. The beautiful wall emitted a fluorescence, allowing him to see the contents of the mural clearly. Under the faint fluorescence, the woman in the painting looked even more real. Su Yanyu seemed to be attracted and could not look away. “She’s grown up.”
Liu Yuanyuan frowned. “What are you talking about?”
Su Yanyu looked at the mural and said, “In this mural, she’s choosing a husband. She’s looking at the portraits one after another, selecting the person she wants to spend the rest of her life with..”
